Thursday Moraine, February 1, I°B3.
LIEUTENANT FI.IPII:K, the colored
graduate of West Point, who embez
zled himself out of the American ar
iuy is now a brigadier Geucral in the
Mexican Army.
HOAR of Massachusetts has been
re-elected to the Senate, ami a cry of
fraud sfrailar to that which secured the
Keimhlicuu uoniiiiation for Governor
of New York, greets him from mem
bers of his own party.
TUE Baltimore American gives its
Republican friend-good advice, win u
it says: "Don't rely for success in
1884 on Democratic blunders. The
opposition are doing tolerably well
just now. They havn't put their foot
into it for some time."
THE rumor is again revived that
Secretary Folger is about to resign
the Treasury Department to be appoint
ed au associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. This time rumor makes a
very .satisfactory change, when it ar
ranges for Aliundt Bradley to step
down and out iu order to make the
vacancy.
Ex-Gov. IIOYT in the closing days
of his term was pretty roundly abused
by his former political associates, and
why? Simply because he learned at a
late date it is true, that he was < iover
nor.answerable for his own reputation
assueh.and not the Cameron*. His ex
perience however, of the selfishness of
bosses, will no doubt be of great value
to him in the future.
SENATOR HARRISON of Indiana, who
in two or three years service in the
Senate, has been able to secure soft
places for seventeen <>r eighteen rela
tions in the public employ, besides an
indefinite number of adherent.-, is uow
said to have a brother for the otlico of
Marshal of the middle district of Ten
nessee. The Senator is a candidate
for President, of course.
.If DIIE JKKE >. BI.A' a tell a short
time ago and fractured hi* right arm
in several places. The physicians be
lieve he will never recover lire tie of
it. But the brave and grand old
statesman, always equal to emergen
cies, it is said, has learned to write
with facility and rapidity with hi left
bond, and conducts his business and
correspondence himself a- formerly
ASOTIIF.iI COMMISSION WANTKK.
It is proposed in Congress that a com
mission of seven be appointed at a sal
ary of $lO a day each to consider the
aubject of inter state transportation,
aod to report at the next session. The
country will soon begin to think that
there is a little too much commission
-lor the money involved and the ad
vantage* derived from these outside
organizations.
THE great reform papers of Phila
delphia are so entirely disconcerted
over the appointment of a competent
Attorney General, that they show an
unwillingness to accept reform from
the Governor They have nothing but
cold water for his attempt to reform
the Recorder's office, of which their
complaints have been incessant for
several years. The 7Vme particular
ly cannot imagine that anything*good
can "come out of Nazareth."
THE Governor's appointment of
Mr. Page as Recorder of Philadelphia
in place of Koeorder I-ane and Ross
l£uay, is furiously opposed by the Re
publicans in the Senate. Mr. Lane
was (^uay'schiefdeputy and succeeded
bim to the title of Recorder, when the
latter was rcappiinted Secretary of
State.on an arrangement, it is nssertcd,
to divide the profits of the office with
the boss. Of course the stalwart Sim
ate will resist any change iu this nice
arrangement of their favorite bosses.
CoNiit:i:-s is devoting this week to
the consideration of the Tariff bills
and ex pi Is to make such progress as
will secure the passage of a hill before
the closo of the session. Doubtful
thing- arc altogether uneeriaiu, and
| unless Mr K llay and the other ex
tremi-ts do u it show a greater spirit
of compromise and liberality, the
! whole thing may break down, or be
worthless as a stable settlement ol the
vexed questions il'p.i--"d. Ihe coun
try lias made a loud call for the revi
sion uud reduction of our revenues,
and it will not be good for the health
'of any partv to close its eyes to this
I demand. What is needed in a tarilT
more than any tiling il-c, is fairne-s
to all iuteri ste a- far as practicable and
stability. If this is not had now, the
subject will continue us au intermina
ble struggle until such u re-ult is at
tained. The extremists on either side
need bridling. Atpr.-ent the qtics
i tion is considerably mixetl.each House
working upon a seperate hill with
1 evident conviction that each has the
i only bill that should pass. The liar
ri-bnrg J'ntriut, -peaking of (he mixed
| condition of affairs .-ays: "Amend-
I mints will undoubtedly be made to
| both measures and when the two bills
I meet then will come the tug of war.
Amendments which coincide can by
parliamentary methods l.e united, but
the difficulty will arise in c< n-tituting
a -ingle bill.
The only way to thi
will be bv a conference committee be
tween the lion-" and the senate. I JMO
thi-coinniitt. e will therefore devolve
tlie settlement of the whole question.
The formation of this conference
committee will of course rest with the
prc-iding officers of the two houses of
congress sithat it seems probable the
j question of high or low tariff rnti-s will
depend entirely upon the weight of iri
fluenci the advocates ( f the respective
rat> - will be able t> bring to bear
upon those officers in the formation of
tie committees.
-A'l this \i|| consume time in the
latter part ol the s<--ioti and wfien
tlie-e la- ts are taken into considera
tion it becomes evident that the plan
of the r< publicans to place upon the
d rnoerats the respoii-ihility for the
i failure ■ f tar II legi-lation will sadlv
i
| mi-carry. It i- not likely that the
; democrats will n-k for an average re
duction greater than ten per cent, of
the schedule prepared by the ways and
mean- committee and no effort will IK
lnade to oh.-truet the passage of the
lull now before tbe house. The mud
-lie into which tnritr legislation has
, - -tiled i- entirely the result of repuh
liean di lay and anxiety to make party
j capital out of a subject which the peo
! pie in most decisive terms have asked
j -hall be treated thoroughly and fairly-
IT is announced that the Prince of
Wale* contemplates making a visit to
| rhis country in the early spring. Well.
I let the I'rinee rome. He might bring
his widowed mother with him. Our
1 President, Arthur, is a widower, and
knows how it i himself. He will treat
them well, and no doubt give them a
; champaign supperat the White House
! with a free ride to Mount Vernon. Mr.
Washington, however, owing to his
great age, and the tendency to sleep
even when distinguished visitors call,
may not he nlilc to show any personal
attention to the representatives of
j England's sovereignity. But they will
1 not lock attention.
SENATOR MITCIIEIX did not vote on
the hill to restore Gen. Fits John Por
ter, ami compares Very unfavorably
with Senator Cameron, who had the
manliness to vote, even against his
friends on the side of justice, while
Mitchell dodged and claimed a pair
with Senator Johnson, a friend of
Porter, on political questions, leaving
word with I/ogan that he considered
the Porter case political. On this Gigao
demands that Johnson should not vote
in the absence of Mitchell. This was
iust such action as might be expected
from a coward and sneak.

tlmt a number of Senators had inform

would tail an txtra Kissioti of the
F -riy-eiguu C ingress if iLi Cougrc**
failed to pass a tariff hill. It may be
come the duty of the President to uili
such a se-*ion, but the possibility or
probability of such a contingency
should not induce the fiiendsof rev
enue reform to permit any tnrilf I II
to he crammed down th- ir tht it's

igate abuses. Wlten the Fortv-ov

I'nder these circumstance* the major
ity, whose members cannot agnx
among themwlves <<n any bill, pro
posed to hold the minority responsible
for an extra se-sion, should the Presi
dent decide to call one. There has
IKCH scarcely n day of either session,
since the fir-t one began in December,
I*Bl, in which the duty of framing
and passing revenue bills lias not lit en
urged on the majority by the minori'
ty. That duly has l>cen systematic
ally shirked. The Forty-seventh Con
gress cannot escape this condemnation
due to those who trifle with great pub
lic obligations. The Forty-eighth Con
gress ran and will reform the tariff
and internal revenue if this Congress
goes off the stage with a confession of
disgraceful incapacity.

THE Senate on Friday la-t pax-ed
the bill abolishing th; office of I)< ■

It is given out that Senator ' am

MR. HUM NO- >F Vcnaugo, lias in
troduced a hill in the House of I! -pre
-entativi-s to enfi re the pi visi ms of
the Constitution against unjust die
oriminations in freight charge- of
railroads. The bill aflix<- jN-nallies
for violation of the Constitution
in the matter of freights and have* it
to the court* ami jurie- to decide w hat
constitutes unjust 1 i- rimr ition. If
the bill passes, it will <J uhtlcss have
a corrective influence upon an evil
much complained of.
Tin: Committee of the Senate did
not take kindly to S nat<r t toper's
bill to compel every man to vote or
forfeit two dollar* and fifty cents for
failure to qualify himsilf to exercise
the right of suffrage. The committee
did not approve the bill. This is bad
for Cooper. By r impelling the indif
ferent Republicans to pay their own
taxc, he might in a great measure
dispense with the assessments which
bothered him so much la-t fall. The
forfeituie clause wa* certainly a verv
brilliant idea that would have immor
talized his statesmanship if incorpor
porated in a law, and spread upin the
statute books.

If the above represent*correctly the
character of the new Senator from

low grade, discreditable to the body
